The M172 is a shrink band made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC). This shrink band is designed to fit 4 and 8 ounce jars. A shrink band is a thin piece of plastic that can be melted over a lid and container to create a tamper-evident plastic seal. This product is ideal for cosmetic products. The opening is on the longest side and the perforation is on the short side. The industry standard size for this shrink band is 118mm x 70mm.

This is an example of a full color, CMYK printed label. Your labels are printed directly from properly prepped digital files. Be sure to set up your bleeds, trim lines, and live area properly to ensure the best label print.

Second Color/Film Positive: Khaki PMS 4685

This is the second color for a 2 color silk print. Notice that the registration marks (the crosshairs) are in the same positions on both film 1 and film 2. This tells the printer how the 2 colors interact with one another.
